I am thinking of getting a 150 cm tank, and I want to automate water changes. What is some easy methods and or some expensive methods to get the job done? ive been researching havent settled on it. My assumption is also all the methods require some sort of holding tank or drum where you fill up water. I have tap water and the only thing im worried about is adding water conditioner, im thinking I could schedule that on a fertilizer doser system.

Hi all, I am planning my next tank out and want to go dark. I plan on using dark substrate and hard scape along with dark colored plants to make the fish in the tank pop. Any recommendations for darker plants?

I know there are some buce that are darker (dark skeleton king and godzilla). Any other types? Any crypts or swords that have darker coloring, or any taller background plants for that matter.

55 G tank

I'm looking for one that ideally have questions or filters to help you narrow down and identify the plants I have.

Thanks!

What’s the plant growing above the water? And is this planted in soil ?

This is my first aquascape and aquarium. I tried to show a creek coming from the left and opening up to the right. Shrimp have messed up the substrate but always repair on water changes…. Any suggestions on my plant set up?

Tried to create a creek from ender the large rock on the left and opens up on the right. I am excited to see what this assortment of plants do.

I have ants that are eating the silicone of the bottom right corner of my tank. What do I do?? Is there some kind of gel I can put on it to deter them??

I'm feeling real sad coz I loved it at the light colour, I really want that look for my current tank. Any way to turn it back? I am a beginner sorry

I found this gorgeous beauty out in the woods. I made a few modifications and saw awesome bits, but it looks awesome.

I have quite a lot of algae on my stem plants, but only at the bottom half, all new leaves are fine. My cleanup crew didn't get rid of it. It doesn't appear to spread a lot to the other corners of the tank.

Would cutting them all the way down be an option or will I kill them that way?

Does anyone have any online stores they would be able to recommend for buying an ideally 15l cube tank for a reasonable price with reasonable shipping?

Hi, opinions please.

Setup 10 days ago: UNS 60u 60/36/36 Chihiros WRGB2 Oase filtosmart thermo 300 with inline CO2 Seiryu Stones Grey Neons, 2 amanos, snails HCC only on tropica soil/soil powder and some swimming plants

not happy with the filter but its the only one with internal heater for relatively low price.

Just a quick little setup. Any suggestions? In the middle is a small ‘cave’ right to where the elastic band is holding two rocks together. To the left of the tank is a wall, to the right is my office desk so I want to keep the view a bit open.

Want to plant it pretty heavily, and add some ada Colorado sand in the foreground

I do not have a doctorate in tank designs/placements. Suggestions would be much appreciated:)
